For sure having too many things happening has its positive side and its negative as well.

I dont think it will be so confusing regarding AEE and CES. Internext core days will be 9th and 10th, with the 8th being more a warm up day, so the overlap is not so heavy. On the 9th the B2B sections of CES and AEE are not so busy anymore during the day and even of someone preffer/has to be there the whole 3 days(7,8,9), will still has the night of the 9th and all 10th to attend Internext. Trust me on this, we spent a lot of time choosing the best days/hours to make it less complicated for everyone. But I take your comment on this seriously. I liked the last show in Amsterdam mainly because there were not so many things happening on the same time, so in each thing you could find almost everybody and network hard.

As for affliates, I agree with you bossku69. Shows need more really valuable seminars. Except from the one for epassporte(that is a nobrainer as we are all interested to see what are the real alternatives), we plan to have at least another 3 mostly for affiliates:

-International SEO: Optimisation and strategies for Different Search Engines & Territories
-The latest Google update(Caffeine/Instant)
-Social Marketing Campaigns and tools: The Affiliate Perspective

Aff.Summit has some very interesting ones. We are trying to get some people over as well to do them during Internext. What you said for the tools is really cool. We plan to have one for mobile tools.

In general I think its better to have more specific seminars. Most of the people are not newbies in our business anymore and deserve more advanced seminars. Its good to have a balance.
thanks

IMO, to bring this business back the program owners really need the support of the affiliates. it would be nice to have an open session to tell them their shitty TGP style galleries don't work anymore and tools we, as affiliates, would like to see.

would also be great for some of these other vendors, like tube software, traffic scripts, etc., to get a chance to demo their products. Offer them booths for not a lot of $$ or give them an allotted time to demo their software openly.

frankly, ive been to a bunch of other mainstream events as I do a lot of work in the SEM field. I get to see a lot of technology, and one particular with the dealer conference in vegas last week. they did a lot of demos on new software for dealerships and even for lead gen services (i.e. that would be to program owners and affiliates in adult).

anyway, just my but i could go on for a while about things from an affiliate side, but adult really needs to pick it up
